Obama meets with national security advisory group

The Democratic White House hopeful has scheduled the inaugural meeting Wednesday of what he's calling his Senior Working Group on National Security. It includes former members of Congress and high-ranking Clinton administration officials.

Among them are three who advised Hillary Rodham Clinton and had served in her husband's Cabinet — former Secretaries of State Madeleine Albright and Warren Christopher and former Defense Secretary William Perry.

Obama also was meeting Wednesday with nearly 40 retired admirals and generals to discuss the state of the military and the challenges in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere.

I looks like he's going to be working with a large number of experienced people in his foreign policy and national security group.

This is a good thing.

I don't see Wes Clark's name on that list.

And what's up with the Clinton admin officials anyway? Isn't Obama all about turning the page?

I hope Wes is among the 40

that were mentioned, but it's not for me to choose.

Would you prefer that Obama ignore former Clinton administration officials?

Turning the page doesn't require burning the whole book does it?
